Devil Survivor 2 Ep. 5 Meh, bunnies attack

I feel like the show took too big a dive right in the beginning and it just never bothered resurfacing. I don’t like how anything is going especially because I really don’t like Hibiki. Forget character development, why is he wearing that stupid hood? It’s killing me.

Stay back everyone, we’ve got the most powerful summoner here. He also cosplays as a bunny in his spare time

There’s been no explanation as to why Hibiki can summon two powerful demons. All we know is that it’s something amazing, I think we can see that but what makes him able to summon in the first place. It’s so stupid. There’s no criteria, not even the cheesy, ‘he has will power,’ stuff either and even if they did say that it wouldn’t make sense because he hasn’t shown any more determination than anyone else. He just got lucky and maybe feels like he has more responsibility but that’s nothing since he doesn’t do anything.

And HOLY FUDGE SICKLES, why are they panting?? It ticks me off so much. Literally, Nitta summoned her demon and the demon did it’s thing and then it was over. But for some reason Nitta is out of breath. Why? I will only be satisfied if we learn that summoning demons takes up their life force or something as dramatic. But if that’s the case, it should have been mentioned earlier.

In the episode we get a little background on the people of JP’s and Alcor. The way they presented it all was so out of place and disoriented, i didn’t like watching it and I’m normally all about the background story. First of all, Alcor is probably some sort of demon that’s in control of that killing device. And Yamato is a prick. Basically, he thinks power is everything which reminds me of Artemis Fowl but Artemis pulls it off way better. No discussion there.

I’m not really to sure but the way I see it is that Yamato may be the eventual antagonist and Alcor may be end up being an innocent…or at least not as evil.

And I need to talk about the scene right here.

I’m glad they’re not being completely useless and trying to take action but what is up with the awkward flapping arms thing. You’re in a war zome, why are you acting like an idiot? Is this supposed to make light of the situation? Or am I supposed to laugh because it’s so kawii? Even Daichi was pretty normal. I get it, you’re putting your hands up so you don’t get killed but don’t you have demons that you JUST summoned?

I also think they introduced so many characters a little too late and all at once.

One last thing, actually two. First, Putting Yamato next to a chessboard doesn’t make him look smarter. Come on, it was so out of place. And second, what’s with this stupid power struggle? I knew this was going to happen, this is all secondary to some game Yamato and Alcor are playing over deciding what’s more important and everything else is secondary.

Whatever, this is starting to annoy me and I really want to drop it. Honestly, the only thing that keeps me going is the awesome opening.

If I might add as someone who has played the game the show is based on, the reason te characters have been gaining new demons throughout and acting like Pokemon/Digimon and somewhat appearing to take energy away from the demon tamer was actually touched upon in the second episode. In game it’s explained a tamer using the summoning app essentially draws out a demon equivalent to the potential in the partnered human that summoned it. As such, they are synchronized as one operating team, and in battles, if a leader human is defeated, the entire team of demons they own is defeated and sealed off temporarily/permanently. This is why Keita in episode three died and his phone simultaneously deactivated, along with his demons. Another thing: in-game, characters that can be in your party that appear on Nicaea as victims of pre-determined death cannot be brought back at all, even with recovery spells.

See, now that makes some more sense to me but i dont remember hearing about it in the second episode. What bothers me a bit is the potential thing. What’s holding Daichi back? He’s a little wimpy yeah but he should have some more powerful demons. He’s gotta have some potential if he’s jumping into action right away.

Hey, I knew about the game but didn’t know they released an anime. But, i might give this a skip since so you don’t like it very much. But, I am behind my anime watching since I am currently focused on live action j-dramas and J-movies. Maybe I will check out your other reviews.

yeah i dont really like it much but i might just finish watching it. there arent too many reviews on here right now but if you have a genre or type you’re interested in i might be able to recommend a few anime

Hey, big shoujo fan but I like seinen too. In terms of shoujo/josei, I loved jellyfish princess. I liked Black Butler , Death Note and xxxholic (season1) as well. I like a good story with decent character development. Oh, I am ashamed to say this but I loved Ouran High school Host club. So cheesy but so good.

Haha, i actually loved OHSHC a lot. i was ashamed at first but it’s actually really good (i plan on writing a review soon). I think you should give Psycho pass a try and maybe FMA if you havent already. i cant really recommend any shoujo though since OHSHC is the only one i really liked
